How to sync Address Book on MP with Contacts on iPhone

iCloud syncs Contacts but not Address Book data. On my MP running 10.7.3 I have my old Address Book. On my iPhone I have Contacts. My iCloud account is set to sync Contacts but doesn't see the Address Book. I have addresses in Address Book on my MP that do not show up on my iPhone. Is there a different application called Contacts in OSX? Is there a way to sync the different programs?

Address book is the lion version of contact. So there is no other app.
To make sure I understand, on your iPhone, iCloud is activated with the contact sync on. On your Mac, iCloud is also activated with the contact sync on. Is that correct?
If so, in the address book, did you correctly select the group iCloud ? Maybe you are looking at locally stored contact and they therefore don't get updated.
If it isn't that, to help debug, go on www.icloud.com and log in and look at the contacts there to check if they are synced.

    Couldn't find any iSync Plug-in nor software for Samsung phones fitting ...
    Thanx for any help!

    Hello,
    if you need to sync your media files as well, you might want to have a look at FoneSync for Android. It features an iTunes like interface and syncs contacts, calendars, music and photos.
    Kind regards

  • Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB to iPhone or iPad and permits only syncing by iCloud, which I don't want to use.  Any ideas on how to sync without using iCloud?

    Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB cable from my MacBook Air to my iPhone and iPad and permits  syncing only by iCloud.  Mountain Lion permitted this via the Info tab on iTunes.  I don't want to use iCloud.  Any ideas with Maverick on how to sync Address Book and Calendar from computer to iPhone and iPad without using iCloud?

    ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
    I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting  citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in  the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US  Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will  interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do  not want that either.
    I  chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have  relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can  no longer do that.
    Whoever  made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about  the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by  this.
    I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
    In the meantime - thanks for the work around

  • How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4?

    How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4

    i'm having this issue too.  it's a bit more complex though i think so i'll give the details:
    a few days ago i added some people to my contacts using my phone. the thing they have in common is they're all new contacts.
    they synced over to my macbook address book ok.
    then a few days later i had to do a full restore of my iphone for various reasons (the new one, already!) which i did. when i then looked in my iphone contacts, these contacts were no longer there. they WERE however, still in my macbook address book.
    so i figured i'd switch icloud syncing off for contacts and then resync to get them back on my phone. it didn't work. so i then turned off icloud sync and tried a good old manual sync via itunes, making sure to check the box for syncing contacts.  it still didn't work.
    now i'm at that odd place where the contacts are in my macbook address book but not in my phone and i can't seem to get them onto my phone (which is frustrating as ultimately they are phone numbers and in my phone is the best place for them!)
    any ideas?

  • How to sync Address book with iphone on 10.5, while iphone synced with iCloud?

    My mac runs leopard 10.5.8. Meanwhile iPhone is updated to 5.1. and synced with iCloud. As we know, OS X 10.5 can not be synced with iCloud. How to sync Address book with iphone? My Address Book on my mac has almost all contacts that can be found on my iPhone. Even with pictures from FB and extra info such as twitter accounts, etc.
    The question is - how can I manage my contacts? Now I have added several new entries to my iPhone, but they won't appear on mac's address book. In iTunes the contacts sync box is unchecked due to the fact that iPhone syncs with iCloud. But then I'm wondering where did Address Book get all the contact updates that were made on iPhone?
    I'd like to control this whole thing. And is there such thing as one data base, that could used by all devices and would change entries on all of them, if I change or add something on my iPhone?
    Or I just have to get Lion and let the iCloud do the magic?
    Thanks,
    Lauris

    I just synced my new iPhone (iOS 5.0.1) with the Address Book on my Mac which runs 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.5.2. I launched iTunes and then I connected the iPhone to the Mac. It appeared on the DEVICES list in the left column in iTunes. I selected it and then the Summary screen appeared in the right part of the iTunes window.
    In the Backup section of the Summary you can choose whether to 'Back up to iCloud' or 'Back up to this computer'. Even if you have 'Back up to iCloud' selected, there is a 'Sync' button in the bottom right hand corner of the iTUnes window where you can manually initiate a sync with the Mac.
    Hope this helps,
    Dave

  • How to sync Address Book, iCal, Bookmarks

    How to sync Address Book, iCal, Bookmarks between my iMac and Macbook?

    {quote:title=Julian Wright wrote:}Do you expect everything to be free?{quote}
    Geez, ya big meanie, give the guy a break. Not everyone wants to spend $50 on a syncing solution! He just asked a question, and you heap attitude on him about his finances. Not your business!
    5480, syncing that information between two Macs is both easy and tricky at the same time. It’s easy because you really can just copy the files back and forth. But it can get tricky if, for instance, you were to change information on both sides. Then you’ve got two different versions! The general solution to this is to be pretty careful about only changing data on one side at a time. If you add some contacts on one side, don’t go working in Address Book on the other side until you’ve copied the new info over.
    “Exporting” the data, burning to CD, and then importing it on the other Mac would be a total pain in the ***, though. Much too time consuming. What you need to do, if you don’t want to pay for a solution (I didn’t for ages), is just learn to hook your computers together on a network, and copy over the relevant files directly (no exporting, no CD burning). Address Book, iCal and bookmarks data is all stored in folders in your Library folder. You just copy it over! Be sure to quit the applications before moving the data.
    Where exactly are these files, you say? How do you network? Figuring out the details is your homework assignment, but the method works. Good luck!

  • How to synch PDF books in iTunes with iBooks on iPhone

    How to synch PDF books in iTunes with iBooks on iPhone?
    I am running current apps on all (PC with windows 7)
    When I sysnc my iphone the  PDF books in iTunes do not show up in the iBook library.
    I see no place to configure the sync of books as some tutotials suggest.
    Thanks!

    You've selected the iPhone on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 then you can enable the sidebar via control-S on a PC), and you've then selected the Books tab on the right-hand side of iTunes and selected those PDFs and clicked on sync/apply to try and copy them over to your phone ? And in the iBooks app on your phone you have 'PDF' selected on the button at the top middle of the bookshelf, not 'Books' ?

  • How to sync Address Book TO Outlook for Mac 2011

    I am using the native Address Book from Mac OS 10.7.5 and need to keep using it because it syncs with my iPhone. However, I am using Outlook for Mac 2011 and want the contacts to synch from Mac Address Book to Outlook's contact list.
    Synch services have been turned on in Outlook.
    Originally, I was going to switch to Mac Mail but discovered that importing mail from Outlook is a headache (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=0&tstart=0). Outlook works well and has for years so rather than going through a bunch of manual drag and dropping of folders to make mbox files, or buying software to do it, I thought getting the contacts to synch would suffice since that's all that's really needed.
    What I discovered is that Outlook will feed new contacts to Mac Address Book when they are generated in Outlook but the Mac Address Book does not feed new contacts to Outlook if they were generated in Address Book. Is this even possible? If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Karen
    I read this previous thread but it talks about contact info going FROM Outlook to Address Book instead of the other way around: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2664208?start=30&tstart=0

    I've got Outlook up and running just fine.  Still have the problem with getting duplicate emails but I'm waiting on MS to get a fix for that in an update.  Apparently that has been an ongoing issue.  I've been in contact w/ a senior MS Outlook tech on that.  I guess I'll just have to make sure that all contact adds/edits are done in Outlook.  Then I can sync my phone or iPad and get the cloud to update the other Apple devices off that sync.  Either that or figure out how to export from the Mac address book to the Outlook address book once in a while. 

  • How to sync address book from OS 10.7 to 10.6

    Is there any way to sync my address book from 10.7 to 10.6 ?  Is there a work-around?

    I actually found the solution on another page.  If I go into iTunes while my iPhone is plugged in, I just needed to click on the "Info" tab of iPhones in iTunes and then click on "Sync Address Book Contacts," since it wasn't checked after the upgrade.  Simple solution when you know what the answer is. 

  • How to sync Address Book with google contacts (google apps)

    Hi everybody
    With Leopard and Snow Leopard I could sync my Address Book with Google Contacts (in google apps). Now with Lion I can't find a way to sync those contacts. I have an iCloud acount for my personal contacst but our company uses Google Apps for sharing the contacts, and I would like to know how can fix that.
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Google uses Google Sync to synchronize your contacts with your iOS and OS X. But this, from Jan 30, 2013, is only available to the paid versions of Google Apps (read more on http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2716936).
    You can continue to sync on both iOS and OS X using the CardDAV protocol, which, IMHO, is even better.
    Follow the instructions in this post: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=en
    Mountain Lion Contacts also supports CardDAV accounts. All you need to do is add the CardDAV account with your account credentials and it will synchronize again.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Ramses

  • How to sync Address Book with iCloud?

    Is this possible? I've created some contacts in Adress Book on my Mac (yes, under the "iCLoud" header), and they don't show on the iCloud website. If it's a one-way path from iCloud to Adress Book, then I guess that for anyone using iCloud for contacts, it renders Adress Book useless, doesn't it?
    Btw, somehow the newly created contacts just vanished, so unless you good people provide me with a solution, I just won't use Adress Book again, because that was at least 30 minutes of my life straight to the trash bin.

    Thank you for your welcome.
    Of course, as it should be. Yes, I understand that. Maybe I should have said "put only under All Contacts". My issue is that if I'm viewing a group I created and click the "add contact button", I expect that contact to be immediatley inserted into this group, as it happened in Adress Book, but didn't happen on iCloud. As the two calendars are pretty much identical, one assumes that if he's seing it on one of them, but not on the other, there was no sync. So, in short, that contact should have gone to the respective group on iCloud, besides, naturally, going to "All Contacts".
    But thanks anyway!

  • How to sync Address Book with multiple macs

    What are the methods for having 1 address book and having them synced over multiple macs.
    I have:
    - 1 iMac (24 inch)
    - 1 Powerbook
    - 1 iMac (dome)
    - 1 iPhone
    I'm using all of them (sounds weird, eh?) and I want to be able to have them synced automatically. One update on my iPhone reflects the other Address books.
    Cheers!

    Agreed, $99 a year seems like a bit much if that's all you want to do.
    If you trust web-based free email services like Gmail, you can export your Address Book(s) and those on other platforms and manage it from there.
    Downside is that there is apparently NOT an 'export' back at the present time if you decide to change.
    So, for now I use MobileMe for the convenience, because $99 a year is easier than wading through three or four different programs and operating systems on multiple platforms.
